Abstract
Participants completed self-report measures of employment, relationship status, intimate partner violence victimization, anxiety and depression. Findings suggest that women whose partners lose their jobs due to Covid-19 are at increased risk of IPV victimization. Further, a partner losing a job due to Covid-19 and victimization contribute independently to increased psychopathology.
